LaGRANGE, Ga. -- Backed by 14-point efforts from Will Portlock and Bailey Spragg, the Covenant men's basketball team completed a season sweep of USA South foe LaGrange with a 66-61 victory on the road on Saturday evening.

The win snaps a four-game losing streak for the Scots (8-9, 2-5 USA South). Covenant also defeated LaGrange 93-82 in overtime back on Jan. 6 and has won three straight games against the Panthers overall.

Covenant trailed by as much as eight points in the second half, but hung around before making a final push. The Scots were down 61-56 with just under five minutes to go, but held LaGrange scoreless the rest of the way and would finish the game on a 10-0 run to seal the win. Back-to-back baskets from Will Portlock gave the Scots a 62-61 edge with 1:31 remaining and Covenant made 4-of-6 from the free throw line in the final minute.

Covenant made 56.1 percent (23-of-41) from the floor with six 3-pointers.

In the first half, LaGrange led by as many as 10 at 26-16 after a Justyn Olson layup. Covenant ended the half on an 11-2 run, capped by an Allen 3-pointer with 12 seconds left in the period, to slice the deficit to 28-27 entering halftime.

LaGrange (9-8, 2-4 USA South) received 16 points from Drew Vanderbrook in the loss. Alex Bonner scored 11 points and Olson and Michael McCauley had nine points each. McCauley had a team-high seven rebounds. The Panthers shot 51 percent (25-of-49) for the game, but were hampered by a 4-for-15 effort at the free throw line.
